Wild Burgundy Snails, a timeless French delicacy, are finally available to gourmands in the United States. Their manufacturer, Henri Marie, has been satisfying the most discriminating palates in France since 1938. Served in the world's finest French restaurants, these are the escargot reserved for dignitaries, movie stars, and the like.

As with all gastronomic delicacies, escargots exhibit varying levels of quality. Henri Marie's snails maintain an unwavering reputation for incomparable products. Their formula is quite simple. They begin with authentic Burgundy snails (Hélix Pomatia Linne), found only in the wild in southeastern France. They are then hand-sorted by size, washed, and cooked in an aromatic bouillon according to the same ancestral standards used in 1894.

There are 116 types of edible snails, and the Helix Pomatia Linne is the unanimously proclaimed champion in terms of flavor and texture. Nicknamed the "Land Lobster", it exhibits a similar texture to lobster, with an earthier flavor. These escargots are 100% natural, low-carb (Atkin's friendly), and very nutritious. This tin of "Very Large" size escargot contains 24 snails. They are the perfect size for serving as an hors d'oeuvre.

Perfect, thought I ordered more than I did. Will be sending in another order.

Delicious, mild taste

I serve escargot in shells with French bread every holiday season; all eight of us who tried these thought they were the best we've had ( this is 20 plus years of making them) . They were flavorful and devoid of that tin can, metallic taste that some canned snails have. I did change my recipe this year by pureeing the garlic instead of mincing before adding to the softened butter. We think the puréed garlic also enhanced the flavor. The only possible frown I have is that these snails are not very large. They are on the small side. In fact, they might be the smallest snails that I've seen come out of a can. We wonder if that's what actually makes them better tasting than the gigantic ones. We decided we liked the smaller size, especially as a first course for a huge Thanksgiving dinner. I will definitely order these again. And kudos to igourmet for the quick delivery! They arrived before promised.

Escargot Arrival

Replacement escargot arrived. Bubble wrap packaging around the cans completely seemed to do the trick this time as the cans were undamaged. Thank you igourmet.
